<br />
A proactive force designed to stop mutant terrorism and face hostile organizations. The X-Men represent the main arm of Xavier's in first contact and threat response. X-Men teams are flexible, deploying in groups based on the optimum power mix and abilities. A group of senior X-Men take over the leadership role in the field, again based on best suited to the circumstances. X-Men deploy for a wide range of issues, some of which are humanitarian, some combat based, and some are about safeguarding other mutants. Essentially maintaining a similar force as now with a similar mission, but willing to be more proactive and covert in the face of a much less supportive public.<br />

===Details===<br />
<br />
During [[Magneto|Erik's]] time as co-headmaster at the school, he pushed for a more martial angle to powers training, teaching the students to fight with their powers as well as control them, leading to the creation of the Danger Room. [[Charles Xavier|Charles]] was reluctant - the concept was contrary to his dream of coexistence - but he agreed that in an anti-mutant world, their students needed the ability to protect themselves and others. Following their schism in 1994, Charles not only continued this training, but began plans for a strike force, fearing the path Magneto was heading down and seeing the need to be ready to counter him.<br />
<br />
The team - called the X-Men after a school joke - was officially formed in 1999, with Cyclops as its leader. It was none too soon, with Magneto and his [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] attempting to turn the world's leaders into mutants in November of 2002, and then in May 2003, joining forces (briefly) with the team against [[William Stryker]] and [[X2|his plan to kill all mutants]]. The X-Men were able to stop both incidents, although it wasn't an easy task. <br />
<br />
Membership is entirely voluntary, but does require a minimum level of training and fitness. Recruits are taken from the [[Generation X]] members, as well as from individuals with previous training who come to [[The Mansion|the mansion]]. Each member is required to do regular comms room duty, scanning various media and law enforcement sources for potential issues, and to participate in regular Danger Room training, both as individuals and as teams. [[Dominion]] and [[Cyclops]] are responsible for programming the training scenarios. <br />
<br />
The X-Men work in conjunction with the other teams, often following up on information provided by [[X-Force]] in situations too large for them to handle, or providing back up for [[X-Factor]] (or passing on cases that they don't have the resources to follow up). And of course, when the students get in trouble, it's all hands on deck to get them out again. <br />
<br />
===Regular Duties===<br />
<br />
'''Team duties:'''<br />
<br />
- Comms duty<br />
<br />
- Scheduling Danger Room rotations and programming scenarios<br />
<br />
- Training exercises (the [[Danger Room]], basic physical and combat training, powers training, etc)<br />
<br />
- Reviewing and updating team records (mission logs, threat assessment, villain profiles) <br />
<br />
- Familiarization with equipment such as the DR, the [[Blackbird]], the comms system, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Investigation of:'''<br />
<br />
- Reports of violent manifestations<br />
<br />
- Tips and intel brought by friends/informants, [[X-Force]] or [[X-Factor]]<br />
<br />
- Media reports about mutants and mutant activities<br />
<br />
===Equipment===<br />
<br />
'''[[Danger Room]]''': the specialised training room.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Blackbird]]''': the modified jet used to travel to missions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Uniforms''': The standard X-Men uniform is a black leather jacket and pants combination, with minor design customizations for each team member. The uniform design includes [[SHIELD]] liquid body armor and boron carbide composite, introduced initially by [[Clint Barton]] to [[Miles Morales]] and [[Peter Parker]] [https://xp-logs.dreamwidth.org/3686821.html#cutid1 for their Spider-suits] and then later made accessible to the X-Men and [[:Category: Teams|other teams]], although the X-Men are the only team who wear a combat uniform. These additions mean the team uniforms are lighter and more flexible as well as having increased protection. The uniform is also insulated against temperature extremes, and is lightweight enough to be worn year-round. <br />
<br />
Various team members have customized their uniforms to better utilize or focus aspects of their powers. Polaris' uniform has approximately 40 pounds of steel incorporated into the lining that she can manipulate with her powers. Wildchild's uniform has special boots which have the toes cut off so he can use his foot claws. Nightcrawler's has a sheath for his tail and lightweight, specialised shoes (much like what gymnasts wear) to allow him to cling to walls and such.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Communicators''': The standard X-Men communicator resembles a slide-top cell phone, and is capable of accessing most existing cellular networks as well as the X-Men's dedicated communications network. Each communicator has a GPS locator integrated into it, as well as a wireless earpiece that can be worn when necessary.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Telepathic Switchboard''': The team telepaths have been trained in "telepathic switchboarding" techniques, for use in situations where communicators may be unreliable or spoken communication is impractical. The procedure consists of a temporary telepathic linking between team members, using the telepath as a sort of switchboard operator to convey surface thoughts between members of the link.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Doomsday files]]''': Scott's personal training scenarios.<br />
<br />
===Medical Facilities===<br />
<br />
The infirmary complex is located in the basement of the mansion. It contains a full surgical operating theater, as well as a separate series of rooms (colloquially known as "Medlab") for specialized treatment dealing with severe medical cases or those related to mutations. There are a number of private recovery rooms, as well as offices for the medical personnel on staff. There is a general examination room/waiting room that is accessible by all mansion residents, with the remainder of the medical complex generally restricted to staff or those students assisting the doctors.<br />
<br />
Specialized facilities include:<br />
<br />
*The Box: A small room intended for the short-term recovery of psionically-sensitive mutants. "The Box", as it has been termed, was designed by Charles Xavier and [[Magneto - Phase 1| Erik Lehnsherr]] in such a manner that psionic powers do not extend beyond its boundaries, thus effectively sequestering a psi from the rest of the world for purposes of containment or recuperation.<br />
<br />
*A reinforced room designed to withstand superhuman strength and destructive powers. This room has been shown to be able to contain a mutant of Rogue's physical strength.<br />

Located at 1407 Greymalkin Lane in Westchester County, New York, the ancestral home of the Xavier family now serves as a secret home and refuge to mutants.<br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The original mansion on the property was built in 1838 by Cornelius Xavier, the man who established the basis of the Xavier family fortune in banking, forestry and shipping concerns. The initial mansion was considerably smaller, mostly used as a summer home for his family and an escape from their home in Manhattan. His son and heir Charles Caroll Xavier did the same, with minimal changes to the mansion. It wasn't until his grandson, Malcolm Francis Xavier that the modern mansion began to take shape. While assessing the property for electrification in 1881, it was determined that the building was suffering from severe structural issues. Xavier commissioned Stanford White to build a new mansion more fitting of the stature of the Xavier family in the New York elite. Rumours were that Xavier offered additional money to block the Vanderbilts from having him design what would become the Biltmore estate. White was an odd choice, as Xavier demanded the mansion be built in the Gothic Revival style, but allowed White to design the interior in his familiar Beaux-Arts style. When the mansion was completed in 1884, it was the most modern home in Westchester, will complete electrification and indoor plumbing through out.<br />
<br />
At the turn of the century, Francis Xavier was the first to move his family to the mansion full time, as he began to sell the range of directly controlled Xavier companies and shifted the family fortune towards its current investment portfolio based wealth. Xavier added both wings to the mansion, and the exterior has been largely unchanged since that time. Xavier hired the Astor's favourite designer Arnold Constable away to update the interiors in 1903. Many of the interior features oriented towards socializing like the ballroom and the lounge are largely the same look established during that renovation. When Xavier died in 1925, his son Brian considerably downsized the mansion, shuttering many of the additional rooms, preferring to live in a much smaller set of active suites with his wife and later his son. Following Brian's death and Sharon Xavier's marriage to Karl Marko, Karl pushed to open more of the mansion, but wartime restrictions limited his ambitions, and when he and Sharon died, the house had been largely untouched beyond the smaller set of rooms in decades. <br />
<br />
[[Charles Xavier]] inherited the home following his mother's death, but spent many years away, and parts of the mansion were allowed to start falling into disrepair. When Charles was injured in 1975, he returned to the mansion full time with his friend [[Magneto|Erik Lehnsherr]]. Over the next ten years, the mansion was almost completely refurbished internally, reconfiguring the interior to accommodate the school that Charles envisioned. Under the cover of the other construction, Charles and Erik began the expansive excavations under the mansion, in order to accommodate what would become the sub-basements and hanger, including [[Cerebro]] and the [[Danger Room]]. The new design incorporated rooms for up to a hundred staff and students, supported by commercial grade kitchens and other facilities.<br />
<br />
Since the events of [[M-Day]], Xavier has helped convert his home again to transition from the school configuration to a more multi-purpose facility to support the various initiatives public and secret of the [[Xavier Institute]]. The living quarters and most of the classroom space has been repurposed for longer term housing for singles or couples living in the mansion. With an overall population smaller than the school, some of the facilities meant to support a consistent stream of students have been downsized. As a result, the mansion currently looks much closer to its configuration at the turn of the century.<br />
<br />
==Layout==<br />
<br />
The mansion has a central staircase, with the building extending east and west from that central point.<br />
<br />
===Living Quarters===<br />
The Mansion has one and two-bedroom suites, as well as a few well-appointed guest rooms. Both bedroom layouts have a kitchenette and living space, although the ones in the singles are slightly smaller. Guest rooms are functionally a very nice hotel room, equipped with a bathroom, microwave, induction burner, and mini-fridge. The main entrances to the suites are secured by a combination key/electronic lock that can either be opened by a physical key, or electronically opened in the case of staff needing access or in emergency situations. Individual rooms are secured solely with physical keys.<br />

===Grand Foyer===<br />
<br />
The central congregation and entryway for the mansion, located as a bridge between wings. Contains the central staircase and main elevator bank, as well as being connected to the formal sitting room, lounge, and ante room.<br />
<br />
===Kitchens===<br />
<br />
The mansion has three incredibly well-stocked kitchens. The main kitchen is an expansive room with a twelve top stove, a flat top grill and six ovens with two walk-in pantries and enough cooking space to prepare regular meals for as many as 75 people at once. There are three industrial refrigerators for residents to use to prepare individual meals, while the larger refrigeration units that hold the food for the larger meals are located in the pantries. There is also a supply closet which holds a wide array of kitchen appliances. The second kitchen is a smaller kitchen in the East Wing which was originally used for mansion servant meals. Only a third of the size of the main kitchen, it is still well equipped. There is a third small kitchenette on the second floor, primarily used for morning and late night meals. There had been an industrial kitchen on the main floor when the school was functioning, designed to turn out three meals a day for 150+ people, but was mothballed and recently dismantled.<br />
<br />
===Classrooms===<br />
<br />
Most of the classrooms have been redeveloped into living areas. However, several still exist on the first floor, used as professional spaces for mansion residents who need them or for group discussions. They are modified parlors or sitting rooms from the original mansion and maintain the original design.<br />
<br />
===Library===<br />
<br />
The mansion has a large and ample library, situated in the main building. While retaining much of the original old-fashioned décor, it has also been fitted with a modern cataloguing system and a number of large tables and individual desks for the purposes of study. There are also a number of 'private study rooms' off one side, originally intended for use by senior students or those with special needs in terms of storage space and private study time. The library has been maintained for residents who are involved in continuing studies, research or simply enjoyment.<br />
<br />
====The Magic Library====<br />
<br />
As of [[January 2024]] there is a small library of magical texts at the mansion, for the purposes of teaching and working from home, that has been collected in one of the old classrooms. A selection of teaching and research materials, where are a combination of [[Wanda Maximoff|Wanda]], [[Amanda Sefton|Amanda]], [[Clea Lake|Clea]] and [[Topaz|Topaz's]] personal collections, the non-dangerous [[Avalon]] material and some items from the [[Transian Public Library|Transian]] heist, which are available to any of the magic users (and Wanda). The door is kept locked for reasons of safety (the magic users, plus [[Illyana Rasputin|Illyana]], Wanda and [[Doug Ramsey|Doug]] all have keys); while the books are not inherently dangerous on their own, Amanda wants to avoid another [[Dogs of War|warwolf]] situation, however unlikely. Students of magic can only have access under supervision of one of the magic users, for the same reason.<br />
<br />
===Rec Rooms===<br />
<br />
The first floor has a large rec room with a large-screen tv, video game consoles, and an extensive digital library. There are numerous couches, beanbags, and overstuffed chairs for the students' use. There are smaller TV rooms on the second floor and on the third floor, which includes the same entertainment options, a large screen television and sofas for group events.<br />
<br />
===The Ballroom===<br />
<br />
In the East wing, the mansion has a medium-sized ballroom, used for entertaining guests before the mansion became a school, and since has been used for hosting parties, large numbers of guests, and graduation ceremonies. It is also used from time to time to host events in which all the residents are attending, typically for general announcements or for holiday events. <br />
<br />
===The Lounge===<br />
<br />
The lounge on the main floor dates back to the original renovation of the mansion and interior work by Arnold Constable. The bar is a dark blend of chestnut and black walnut accented the core of oak that runs 25 feet through the lounge, set with brass rails and taps behind the bar. Behind it in a custom mirrored set of cases are a dazzling array of bottles, although many of them long empty and largely ornamental. The walls are dark inlaid wood and the stools and deep leather couches are handmade, carefully protected antiques from the turn of the century. The room had been shuttered by Brian Xavier and the Professor kept it locked in the years that the school was centred in the mansion. Only in the last few years have efforts been made to re-occupy and restock it for general use again.<br />
<br />
===Gym Complex===<br />
<br />
The school has a small gymnasium area in the west wing that can be used for basketball, volleyball, squash, or other indoor activities. One end of the gymnasium opens to the indoor/outdoor pool and various locker rooms. The other end contains a fully-stocked weight room as well as storage for athletic equipment. The pool area contains an Olympic-size indoor pool, with a connecting swimway to the outdoor pool area, which is drained and covered in winter. <br />
<br />
Outside, near the pool, there is also a basketball court, a sand volleyball pit, and a number of horseshoe stakes. The basketball court is unique, in that it has a habit of sliding away to reveal the [[Blackbird]]'s exit from the subterranean hangar.<br />
<br />
===Garage===<br />
<br />
The garage at the school is used both for the storage of individual- and school-owned vehicles, as well as containing a full auto maintenance bay, used by the Auto Shop class. There is also a fully-stocked machine shop accessible from the garage. <br />
<br />
Vehicles kept in the garage include:<br />
<br />
* A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Silver_Cloud 1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud], personally owned by Professor Xavier. This is the car he uses to travel to various engagements, usually through the use of a private chauffeur.<br />
<br />
* At least one multiple-passenger van, often used for weekend trips into New York City.<br />
<br />
* A modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Jeep-Wrangler-Rubicon.jpg Jeep Wrangler], used for off-roading and general commuting.<br />
<br />
* A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Solstice 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP], personally owned by Scott Summers<br />
<br />

<br />
* A [http://www.kbb.com/lexus/is/2014/ 2014 Lexus IS], owned by Quentin Quire<br />
<br />
* A 2013 Nissan Altima, owned by Darcy Lewis<br />
<br />
* Various other vehicles that may be signed out by staff, or students who are licensed drivers and have vehicle privileges.<br />
<br />
===Infirmary/Medlab===<br />
<br />
The infirmary complex is located in the basement of the mansion. It contains a full surgical operating theater, as well as a separate series of rooms (colloquially known as "Medlab") for specialized treatment dealing with severe medical cases or those related to mutations. There are a number of private recovery rooms, as well as offices for the medical personnel on staff. There is a general examination room/waiting room that is accessible by all mansion residents, with the remainder of the medical complex generally restricted to staff or those students assisting the doctors.<br />
<br />
Specialized facilities include:<br />
<br />
*The Box: A small room intended for the short-term recovery of psionically-sensitive mutants. "The Box", as it has been termed, was designed by Charles Xavier and [[Magneto| Erik Lehnsherr]] in such a manner that psionic powers do not extend beyond its boundaries, thus effectively sequestering a psi from the rest of the world for purposes of containment or recuperation.<br />
<br />
*A reinforced room designed to withstand superhuman strength and destructive powers. This room has been shown to be able to contain a mutant of Rogue's physical strength.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Lab Complex===<br />
<br />
Also located in the basement are a number of labs designed for scientific research and experimentation. There are labs set up for mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering, as well as specialized areas set up to test mutant powers under controlled conditions. Labs are connected to advanced sensor suites and can replicate virtually any experimental conditions necessary. Labs are assigned based on need first and then a simple sign-out schedule as needed by residents who are conducting their own research.<br />
<br />
===Restricted Areas===<br />
<br />
The basement also contains various areas pertaining to the [[X-Men]] which are strictly off-limits to non-team.<br />
<br />
====Cerebro====<br />
<br />
Located in the first sub-basement, the Cerebro chamber extends deep into the ground. It is, however, empty, as Cerebro was dismantled following the events of the [[Dark Phoenix Saga]]. ''See the [[Cerebro]] page for further details''.<br />
<br />
====The Danger Room====<br />
<br />
Also located in the first sub-basement, the [[Danger Room]] is a large gymnasium-style structure capable of reconfiguring its form and projecting realistic holograms for training purposes. There are various briefing, observation, and locker rooms attached to the Danger Room. ''See the [[Danger Room]] page for further details''.<br />
<br />
====Situation Room====<br />
<br />
The X-Men's Situation Room is located on the first sub-basement level, containing a large 3-D "sand table" to assist them in planning missions. The room also contains videoconferencing equipment and a communications suite.<br />
<br />
====Hangar====<br />
<br />
Beneath the mansion, specifically under the retractable outdoor basketball court, lies a combination hangar/maintenance bay for the [[Blackbird]], the X-Men's VTOL-capable jet transport. Access to the Hangar is through the first sub-basement level.<br />
<br />
===The Grounds===<br />
<br />
* ''The South Lawn'': The "front yard" of the mansion, with large grassy lawns divided by a semicircular driveway and fountain, bordered by the front gates to the mansion.<br />
<br />
* ''The North Lawn'': The "backyard". There are large patios on each wing, accessible from Professor Xavier's Study or the Sunroom, as well as the back exits to the mansion. The back porch off the kitchen is a popular spot for the mansion's smokers, having a variety of seats as well as firebuckets for cigarette butts. A brick walkway extends to a large fountain, with benches surrounding it where students may converse, study, draw, or pass the time. Further back on the North Lawn there are stables to the northwest, a woodshed/toolshed off to the northeast and a six foot tall half-pipe skate ramp directly north of the mansion. A small grove of trees to the north conceals a cobblestone path leading off to the lake, to the north.<br />
<br />
* ''The Lake Area'': North of the mansion is a large kidney-shaped lake, fed by a stream from the northwest, and draining via numerous streams and tributaries to the west. Along the southeast corner of the lake is [[The Boathouse| the boathouse]]. A dock extends onto the lake from the boathouse, and a small shed contains two rowboats and a half-dozen canoes. <br />
<br />
* ''The Quarry'': Along the western boundary of the property, an access road leads up to an abandoned quarry, approximately three hundred meters across, and easily as deep, filled with rubble and crumbling granite and sandstone. Beyond this area to the north is extensive woodland.<br />
<br />
* The area around the mansion is bordered to the east, west, and north (beyond the quarry) by mixed evergreen and deciduous forests. Small creeks and drainage tributaries form small gorges and ditches in the western woods, while the eastern woods are peppered with small glades and meadows. A packed-dirt jogging path traverses the outer borders of the property, winding through the woods before circling the lake.<br />
<br />
====Shooting Range====<br />
<br />
Located near the quarry so as to be out of the way, the shooting range is comprised of several indoor lanes as well an outdoor area for skeet shooting.<br />
<br />
====Archery Range====<br />
<br />
The archery range is located near the school's volleyball court - far enough away from the rest of the school to keep missed shots from being dangerous while still being close enough to be easily monitored.<br />
<br />
====[[The Chapel]]====<br />
<br />
Located north of the lake. It used to serve as the church for the Xavier family, and in 2017 it was claimed as the new base of operations for [[eXcalibur]], and renovated to fit the team's needs. It has several lab areas, offices, and a library in the basement, as well as [[The Wormhole]] and its monitoring equipment.<br />
<br />
====[[The Boathouse]]====<br />
<br />
Initially used as housing by [[Cain Marko]] and [[Remy Lebeau - Phase 1|Remy Lebeau]], then as combined housing for [[Nathan Dayspring]], [[Moira MacTaggart]] and their daughter [[Rachel Kinross-Dayspring]] as well as the offices of Nathan's non-profit [[Elpis]]. The boathouse was again renovated in 2011 as an art studio. Following the [[The Dark Phoenix|end of the world]], it had been sitting unused before the arrival of [[Namor]], who has claimed it as his residence.<br />
<br />
==Security==<br />
<br />
===Personal Security===<br />
<br />
All residents are equipped with an Xavier's smartphone. This incorporates a "panic button" which links to X-Men communications and whichever X-Man is on duty, plus a GPS tracking device which enables the phone to be located wherever it might be. The phones are fully encrypted and cannot be cloned or cracked by any existing technology. Residents can use the phone to connect with VI remotely if needed.<br />
<br />
===Computer Security===<br />
<br />
The original network was designed by genius level technologists and programmers like Hank McCoy, Doug Ramsey and Kitty Pryde. Since then, it has undergone numerous upgrades, to the point that an outside group attempting to interact with the mansion's systems can't even recognize the coding, much less crack it. Since the introduction of [[VI]], the system is even faster and more robust, which would require resources beyond anything conventionally available to entertain any hope of success.*<br />
<br />
Internally, sensitive files like the resident profiles, Cerebro files, Danger Room analysis and research materials kept on a separate, independent system without outside connections and access is controlled on a need to know basis to regular mansion inhabitants. Team and Trainees are given access based on the judgement of senior leadership, under their level of access, and not above. <br />
<br />
(*) Any plots that involve the mansion or any X-Men related system being compromised - for any reason - requires mod approval. It's not impossible and a valid and sound plot need or reason will be worked with.<br />
<br />
===Utility Systems===<br />
<br />
All infrastructure coming into the mansion including power, water, sewage, telecommunications and other elements are in secured and monitored underground lines. The mansion has multiple UPS backup power generators including a robust plant in the basement that is capable of powering the entire mansion for weeks if necessary. The medbay and labs also have UPS emergency generators.<br />
<br />
===House Security===<br />
<br />
With VI's integration into the mansion's systems, the security features have been modified to make use of her expanded capabilities.<br />
<br />
1) There are proximity sensors all over the wood line, from about 1 mile out. These have been geared to recognize shapes that don't fit to a local fauna database. Allows for tracking of individuals on the estate<br />
<br />
2) '''House itself'''. Keycard/keypad locks on outside doors. Approaching the door with a mansion phone will activate the system. If a phone is not available, a five to seven digit entry code will also activate the system. The actual unlocking system which uses a high-frequency EM scanner to match body field characteristics with the accepted user database. Any irregularities will initiate a verification protocol from a resident currently within the mansion to proceed. <br />
<br />
3) '''Interior security'''. Different levels of alarm. The silent evacuation alarm is basically everyone's room phones ringing at low volume, and a low-frequency subsonic transmission used to rouse sleepers. Evacuation points are all over the mansion, and the students are well-trained in them. Crisis alarms are the standard air-raid sirens, and everyone knows how to get to shelter for things like demon invasions, something being blown up by someone - stuff like that.<br />
<br />
3a) passive defenses. Door and retaining wall lockdowns. In the event of a crisis alarm, or four minutes after a silent alarm, outside doors lock out to all but the senior staff passcodes. Retaining walls can be activated to seal off areas as well.<br />
<br />
3b) active defenses. Sonics, tranquilizers, lots of nonlethal stuff can be used. NONE of this is automated. It is all controlled from the security office - a hardened structure on the first floor. Not even all the STAFF knows where it is (door is behind a sliding bookcase in Charles' study). None of the students are aware of this. No outsiders are aware of this.<br />
<br />
4) There is a chemical analysis system, otherwise known as a 'mail sniffer' security precaution in place. This is yet another feature which is entirely transparent to every day life. Mail confidentiality is entirely and completely preserved, but say, if anyone decides to send anthrax in, it won't go very far.<br />
<br />
5) The lower levels have enhanced security, involving quite literal firewalls and other measures to isolated and contain security threats or react to mishaps involving the Danger Room or the labs. T <br />
<br />
6) The mansion itself also has a series of mystical protection wards placed on it. These will alert the creator ([[Amanda Sefton]]) to the following:<br />
<br />
a) some kind of mystical interference; and <br />
<br />
b) someone moving past them with violent intentions to the inhabitants. In order to make logging as flexible as possible, there's levels of 'pings' and most of what's gone on tends to just trigger a mild awareness which Amanda writes off as "those crazy mansion people again". The wards are there primarily for magical threats.<br />
<br />
===Fire Alarms===<br />
<br />
Like the security system, the fire alarm is on multiple levels. For small incidents, in particular powers-related issues, there is an alarm and sprinkler system specific to the room in which the fire is happening, as well as an alarm patched into the Comms room alerting whoever is on duty. The mansion has a full fire suppression system in place across all levels capable of immediate response.<br />
<br />
===Grounds Security===<br />
<br />
There are a series external sensors on the grounds, including the woods. They've been tested and calibrated to be able to distinguish between wildlife and people so they don't go off every time a deer walks by. There are also cameras scanning the grounds and especially the front gate, as well as the gate intercom, all of which are patched into the [[X-Men - Phase 1|X-Men]] comms room along with the house security systems and monitored by the X-Man on duty. <br />

====Chicago Morlocks====<br />
<br />
The “Chicago Morlocks”<br />
With the exception of [[Ben Hammil|Match]], the Chicago Morlocks were a group of very broken, very disenfranchised people. They lived in Chicago’s disused freight tunnel system but explored parts of the deep tunnel drainage system. With the tunnels considered “secure” by police, their ability to get in and out was facilitated by Shatter. <br />

This skill put his wife in a coma, when a powers malfunction forced her to forget everything. Horrified by what he’d done to his wife and determined to avoid this happening again, he decided to try that and in the subsequent months and years, has built a crew which he calls the Chicago Morlocks. He’s not aware of the links to the Manhattan Morlocks - this is a reference to HG Wells. <br />

===Details===<br />
<br />
The Morlocks are a society of mutants who inhabit New York City's underground. They live primarily in a warren of underground tunnels and abandoned spaces they call the 'Morlock Tunnels'. The tunnels extend from ChinaTown in the south, to almost 50th street in the north. There are rumours that at least two forgotten tunnels under the East River are connected to them. The Morlock tunnels have formed over time out of a number of forgotten constructions, many of them either old infrastructure, illegal roadways or formerly hidden military projects. Because of that, mapping the Tunnels is virtually impossible and even the most traveled Morlock doesn't know their full extent. The Morlock Tunnels are only used to describe 'dead' underground structures; ones that original use is long gone. However, they intersect regularly with Manhattan's 'live underground', including the existing subway system, sewer and utility tunnels as well as maintenance access. The Morlocks have spent significant time concealing access to their tunnels from outsiders, using fake walls and access-ways, false cave-ins, flooded tunnels and even vermin pools to dissuade would be explorers from getting too far.<br />
<br />
The main Morlock encampment is a former groundwater shaft that was built connected to New York Water Tunnel #1 in 1910. In 1940, a series of basements were walled off and extended as a secret military research facility. However, after three years, building stopped as the threat of invasion disappeared, and the rooms were sealed off. The main building was demolished in the 1950s and covered by low-rise commercial and light industrial before being pulled down and turned into Imagination Playground Park. The honeycomb of underground rooms have pirated electricity and fresh water, although it suffers constant dampness from the shaft and has no heat. The rooms are communal, although some Morlocks have occupied the same space for decades and have earned the right to treat the space as their own. There is a small locked room where the emergency supplies and funds are kept against disaster and has been used in times of fire, flooding or other situations which have forced the Morlocks to temporarily abandon their home.<br />
<br />
The north end of the shaft is an area referred to as the Hill. It is a two and a half underground building that was built to house pumping controls but was never finished. Over the years, it has become a temple of sorts where elder trusted Morlocks withdraw, calling themselves Those Who Dwell In Darkness. They formally renounce the upworld and house extensive knowledge of the underworld tunnels and manipulating the hydro systems for their own use. It is not looked at as a religious order or cult as of yet, but the members are deeply respected and they do much of the teaching for young Morlocks. <br />
<br />
Most Morlocks have a spot in the community as well as their own personal boltholes and resting spots. However, there is a faction of mostly younger Morlocks who have rejected the central space, instead committing themselves to delve into the edges of the underground systems, discovering new spaces and resources. They have been successful to an extent, but their willingness to use the tunnels to access and directly steal from businesses is a major divide, as the Dwellers believe it will draw attention to their existence and potentially give the upworld an excuse to look for them. <br />
<br />
Morlocks survive through a combination of begging, illegal labour and petty crime to survive. Depending on the strength of their leader at the time, they are either well organized and share their resources as a community or become fractured with the weaker being subjugated by the strong. Fortunately, the few times a more tyrannical mutant has seized power, events have conspired to ruin them. Some Morlocks advocate a more militant approach to power, blaming the Upworlders for their existence and calling for a use of force to earn respect. They call themselves Tunnelers, although they have few followers. Most Morlocks dislike and resent Upworlders, but they aren't murderous or willing to support open violence.<br />
<br />
In late 2015-early 2016, however, the Morlocks found themselves under attack. It began with the [[Case File: A Better Mole Trap|individual slayings of several of their number]], which was traced back to a mutant mercenary known as [[Sabretooth]]. Then came the mass attacks by [[X-Men Mission: Fall of the Mutants|humans in uniforms thought to be police or FBI]]. [[Callisto]] was able to prevent a counter-attack by the Tunnelers, but when Healer was slain, she led a group to attempt a rescue of others who had been taken... and extract revenge. They were stopped by the [[X-Men]], but found themselves fighting on the same side when the [[Sapien League]] turned the tables. The X-Men promised to find out who was behind the attacks, leading to a [[Operation: Mutant Massacre|raid on a medical center]] which was performing research on mutant organs harvested from the Morlocks. Callisto, however, was unable to calm the more radical members of the Morlocks, leading to an attempted bombing at Penn Station, which she and members of [[X-Force]] were able to prevent. <br />
<br />
Callisto's leadership remains in doubt - it is one of the most sacred rules that Morlocks don't fight against their own, especially siding with Upworlders.<br />

== '''Biography''' ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Childhood''' ===<br />
<br />
Clea was born in the [[Dark Dimension]], a parallel world to Earth. She was born during the rebellions waged between Orini, the rightful heir to the Dark Dimension and Clea’s father, and [[Dormammu]], an entity who had seized power. Her mother was Umar, Dormammu’s sister, who had taken human form in order to infiltrate the rebellion’s camp. She seduced Orini into a one night stand to gain his trust, but then betrayed his location. Orini was taken prisoner, alone, as the rest of the rebels were able to escape due to his aid. However, the news of Orini’s death and sacrifice deeply hurt the morals of the rebellion. Hope was rekindled several cycles later with the news of Umar giving birth to a baby girl, the daughter of the rightful heir.<br />
<br />
The rebellion placed several spies within the palace to attempt to steal the princess. However, Umar was waiting for them. Chaos broke out in the palace as Umar’s guards worked to apprehend the spy, Leya, and bring back Umar's daughter. Leya, desperate, entered one of Dormammu’s portals in hopes to do anything to keep the baby away from Umar and Dormammu’s influence. This portal took them to Earth in locals called "the year 2000." <br />
<br />
This world was brighter and filled with more color than either had known. Unfortunately, Leya was gravely injured from her wounds in the Dark Dimension and found that being away from the source of her powers meant she could not herself. Leya found an orphanage to take in the baby girl, telling them two things: the girl was named Clea and to keep her safe. Leya died from her wounds several hours later. <br />
<br />
Clea was still an infant when she was adopted to a couple living in London named Roslina and Marcus Lake. She lived a normal life with her adopted parents, who gave her the best life they could. The two were not able to have children of their own and had been on a waiting list to adopt. <br />
<br />
Clea was a quiet child. It wasn't until the age of 8 when she started to attend summer camp that she slowly came her out of her shell and made lasting friends – [[Sebastian Druid]] and [[Stephen Strange]]. They continued to be in touch, mainly via Clea, as she would send them letters and care packages throughout the school years. When Clea hit puberty, her powers manifested. It was little things at first, but she learned that she could do things that she would describe a "witch doing." <br />
<br />
She kept her powers a secret from her parents for as long as possible. Still, even then they started to notice odd things going on around the house. Reports from her school started to file in claiming there had been weird occurrences with Clea typically at the center. It was then that Clea finally confided to her parents about what was happening, and though she expected backlash she didn’t receive any. Her family was supportive, however, they encouraged her to not share this information openly. <br />
<br />
Clea eventually entered secondary and new course load took a more demanding presence in her life. However, she found herself waiting for the school year to end so that she could be able to go to camp where her real friends were. Little did she know that her life was about to change — in the last week of camp, Clea found out that a television show called "The Legendary Hunts of Bloodstone" would arrive to [[For Cata!|film concerning the rumor of an overly large cat]]. Clea knew that they were talking about [[Cata]]. Clea, Bas, and Steve decided to put matters into their own hands and save their friend from being exposed. Bas, using his power of shifting into a large cat with anime eyes, provided a distraction to keep [[Ulysses Bloodstone]] busy. Clea and Steve meanwhile used their magic to shrink their cat. This was successful, but it ended with Cata never being the same size she was once was. Their magic also pinged the [[Occult Network]], bringing [[Amanda Sefton]] and [[Megan Gwynn]] to find the three teens. Amanda soon met with their parents and it was agreed that the teens would be going to America to continue to learn how to control their magic and mutations.<br />
<br />
=== '''Living At The X-Mansion''' ===<br />
<br />
Living in the States was very different and it would mark the first time Clea attend a mixed school (boys and girls). She quickly took a liking to [[Topaz]] and eventually became friends with newcomer [[Maya Lincoln-Lopez]], even if the girl was quite angry. Clea joined Cheerleading and enrolled in AP classes, but most of her time was spent with Steve and Bas. She assisted in helping others out during a car crash and helped [[Henry McCoy|Hank]] out. After a falling out between [[Xavin Majesdane|Xavin]] and Maya, Clea found herself a new roommate with Xavin. She was happy that she was no longer alone and welcomed the company. <br />
<br />
In February 2016, she became a reluctant part of a rescue mission after several of her fellow GenX members were [[Something Slender This Way Comes | kidnapped to another dimension]]. The remaining students agreed that calling adults would be a bad idea, and forged ahead alone. Clea, however, put in a quick text to Topaz before helping Steve open a portal to the other world. They found their friends and were rescued by the [[X-Men]] and senior magic users.<br />
<br />
Clea enjoyed a quiet life, after that. There was a bit of trouble at an end of year party, but she was lucky enough to avoid the police, and she got some quality time in with her BFF Stephen - who became her boyfriend at the end of the summer. Not bad all around. During Halloween, Clea brought to life some dolls all in the name of Halloween. She went back home for the winter holiday but returned to the States before the New Year started.<br />
<br />
==='''I am Small'''===<br />
<br />
The school year started and the homework was piling up as Clea was taking AP classes. In February during Magic Class, [[Honey, I Shrunk the Magic Class|the spell they were performing backfired]] when Billy walked by causing them to shrink themselves. The class was attacked by the green army men brought to life by Topaz, vacuumed up, brought to the garbage room and had to escape from the bag. On the trek down a string, Clea found out she is terrified of heights but managed to make it to the ground safely. After failed attempts to get people's attention, [[Amanda Sefton|Amanda]] decided that they could fix it themselves, they just had to get to her room to her wych. After escaping near death by [[Pets|Rooney the Cat]], and climbing a steep bookshelf, the class was able to restore themselves to normal height; Clea felt bad that she could manage that, but couldn't restore [[Cata]] back to normal size.<br />
<br />
==='''Big Again but Spiders'''===<br />
<br />
A month after the incident, Cata brought Clea a green army man. She kept it in a jar until Topaz removed the spell on him. In April, the magic students all received a smooth rock that was half white and half black, which was revealed eventually to be an "invitation" from [[The Winding Way]]. In May, Clea got heavily into manga and Anime. She decided to put her new hobby to work and in July decided to go to the New York Comic Con in October and cosplay. Clea found she had a knack for sewing and costuming and decided to put her hobby to use for the conventions coming up in the future. In the beginning of July, she and Steve stumbled upon a new game store in Salem Center. Though the owner was creepy, they purchased a game called "[[How To Kill A Spider]]". Gathering others to play a game, it turned out to be a cursed deck that unleashed hundreds of spiders. After a quick text to Topaz and Amanda, they came to their aid but the kids had to continue to play in order for it to end. Upon the ending of the game, Clea locked herself in her room for awhile, refusing to come out because of spiders. In August, Clea found out [[Sebastian Druid|Sebastian]] had decided to stay home in England after a holiday away.<br />
<br />
==='''Dark Dimension: Homecoming'''===<br />
<br />
If spiders weren't bad enough, Clea started to have dreams about a ruined city. They were harmless enough until the start of October when they started to intensify with something chasing her. This lead her to avoiding sleep at all cost during the week, earning her detention and missing out on her first Comic Con. While in the Library, Clea drifted off to sleep and found herself in the familiar landscape once more. A figure appeared before her and then reached out for her, as if it was trying to grab her. Clea woke up with slash marks on her arm — deep enough to need stitches. [[Topaz]] found her a few seconds later and helped her to the hospital wing. Topaz also alerted the staff that something had attacked Clea in the library. <br />
<br />
Later, Clea was being attended to by Dr. [[Jean Grey]] and Amanda told them that an entire search of the grounds had found nothing. There were a few questions asked, and Clea revealed that she had been having dreams and they were only getting worse. Jean and Amanda talked Clea into letting them see the dreams by entering her mind a few minutes later. More suspicions were raised when the entity that attacked Clea turned to them and told them it was just a dream. In order for Clea to get some sleep and to make sure nothing else happened, Topaz was placed in charge of watching over the teen. The girls settled into Clea's room for the night. No sooner had Clea fallen asleep, the figure was waiting for her. Clea woke up screaming and Topaz rushed to her side. However, a portal opened behind them and sucked both of them into the [[Dark Dimension]]. <br />
<br />
The wards and electricity around the mansion went haywire. Clea's room was cornered off to make sure nothing else happened. Both girls landed in the other dimension, and soon found themselves running towards the castle in the distance. It was revealed that the place once housed people but neither knew what could had happened. Upon entering the castle, they were greeted by a man calling himself [[Dormammu|Prince Orini]] and both girls followed him deeper into the castle as he revealed the history and Clea's connection to the palace. Apparently, Clea was a long lost princess taken during the height of a revolution against the entity calling himself Dormammu. She was the daughter of the ruling family and Dormammu's sister. Once they were deep inside the castle, it was revealed that Orini was in fact Dormammu in disguise. Both girls ran for it. They lost the man and soon began to wander the corridors until they found themselves a kitchen. They ate as Topaz tended to Clea's reopened wounds. Further exploration revealed an old nursery and the two made camp for the night. Clea mentioning that going outside might be out of the question due to the figures she kept seeing in the distance.<br />
<br />
Upon waking both girls wandered until they were found by [[Amanda Sefton|Amanda]], [[Arthur Centino|Arthur]], [[Doug Ramsey|Doug]], Jean, [[Megan Gwynn|Megan]], [[Miles Morales|Miles]], and [[Sharon Friedlander|Sharon]]. Their happy reunion was put on hold when Dormammu revealed he had captured th eother half of the team. He would offer a trade — Clea for the group. Instead, the group broke into two and one part went to rescue the other team while the others went to distract Dormammu. This led to a small battle between Amanda, Arthur, Topaz, and Clea up against the deity. They retreated once they received a signal from Jean, and left the castle for the open portal that was made by the rescue group. They were greeted right away by Mindless Ones... but also the [[Ancient One]] and [[Sorcerer Supreme|his followers]]. Clea was asked to stay for a moment more to add power by Ancient One, in hope that this would slow Dormammu enough where he couldn't make an assault on earth (or harm Clea any further). Clea didn't see what happened to the Ancient One and his group as she retreated through the portal with Steve. However, they reemerged in the Ancient One's house and it was revealed that he was going to help them further due to a change of heart. Clea was too tired and exhausted from the sudden shift of the lack of magic in the air and passed out soon after.<br />
<br />
==='''X Force was the Start of a Very Very Busy Year'''===<br />
<br />
Teas from the [[Ancient One]] helped Clea cope with her nightmares, and, in time, they almost completely vanished — if only she kept drinking the teas at night. For the Christmas holiday, she went back home with the intent of telling her parents the truth of her past, but found she couldn't bring herself to it. When she returned after the new year, Clea had a talk with [[Amanda Sefton|Amanda]] about when might ever be the right time. It was decided that the summer holiday would be perfect as her parents were visiting and Amanda would be there for support. The conversation also gave Clea an idea about working, as she had no idea about college plans or what she even wanted to do with her life. <br />
<br />
In February of 2018, a chance meeting with [[Kevin Sydney|Kevin]] opened the possibility of Clea joining [[X-Force]] as the newest Girl Friday. A job offer from [[Marie-Ange Colbert|Marie-Ange]] sealed the deal and Clea was officially the newest member of the group, although she didn't participate in any of the spy work... yet. She had a talk to Marie-Angie after her first week and went over a few other important details.<br />
<br />
She visited [[Topaz]] after her fellow English pal was forced into an unpleasant [[Family Reunion|family reunion]]. Knowing her friend was not coming out of her room, Clea had [[Cata]] take her place for hugs. <br />
<br />
In April [[Ready or Not|a new game was released called Predator X]]: a virtual reality that was supposed to blow the competition out of the water. Clea, [[Stephen Strange|Stephen]], [[Rahne Sinclair|Rahne]], [[Maya Lincoln-Lopez|Maya]], [[Xavin Majesdane|Xavin]], and [[Monica Rambeau|Monica]] were the first to try it. They were 'teleported' into the real life game only for it to be all too real. An attack by the first creature of the game proved the creatures actually hurt.<br />
<br />
Another player, Gracie, rushed to their aid while being chased by another. The group quickly helped her in turn. However, they found out that they couldn't escape and headed to where others were making a stand. They only had to beat the clock. With the others that were also stuck in the VR world, the rag tag group was able to survive before exiting the game. Alive. A few days later the game programmer was arrested, but the real mastermind was the newest [[Arcade]]. He deemed his experiment it was a success. <br />
<br />
A few days later, Clea was sent an SOS and took a shadow portal, via [[Tyrone Johnson|Tyrone]], [[Poor Unfortunate Souls|to the Bermuda Triangle]]. She helped with a spell that transformed people into mermaids to help friends captured under the sea. While Clea stayed aboard the ship versus diving in, she helped defend against sea creatures. Luckily that was the worst of what she witnessed. She still doesn't know the full details of what went on under, only something about jellyfish.<br />
<br />
Clea continued her remaining high school year and her new job until another curve ball was thrown at her. Her history teacher's Native American display was found smashed by a group of students who trashed the school. [[Generation X: Demon Bear|Throughout the day, weird things continued to happen]]. Clea had an encounter with the mysterious sounds of a bear in the bathroom but found nothing. However, one girl from Maya's classroom had gone missing. The group talked about what happened and their own experiences when Nica, Miles, and Xavin joined them... followed by a bear. After the attack, Clea, Miles, and Nica were separated as they found themselves weaving in and out of the demon bear's dimension. Going outside had a strange 'upside down' feeling.<br />
<br />
This continued to happen for hours until they were found by a rescue party. Finally, with all of them tied together so they wouldn't be separated, the adults and the students made their way to the auditorium where they made a final stand against the demon bear. It was quickly realized that there was a dagger stuck in the bear side, and Maya removed it. With a gust of the wind, the bear let out another roar before it disappeared. All were returned back to their own reality. <br />
<br />
A few days later Clea was involved with [[Set Fire to the Rain|helping put out fires]] that were happening around the city.<br />
<br />
Finally graduation happened. Clea had survived - everything. Unsure what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, Clea decided to get a degree in business administration. <br />
<br />
In July, Topaz's [[Destine Clan|family enemies]] [[An Eye for an Eye|kidnapped her and set demon wards]]. Clea went in with Stephen, Tyrone, and [[Illyana Rasputin|Illyana]] to find and destroy the barriers that kept the demons there. They then found Topaz in a rough spot. Clea was visited by Topaz a few months later to apologize, but Clea reminded her that Topaz was there for her in the [[Dark Dimension Homecoming|Dark Dimension]]. Clea was always going to have Topaz's back.<br />
<br />
The year came to an end with a [[Danger Room]] [[The Danger Room Paradox|experiment gone wrong and being trapped in a fictional world for a while]].<br />
<br />
==='''The End of a Decade and a New Start'''===<br />
<br />
2019 proceeded as normal... normal as it gets when one is a witch working for a group of spies. That is to say, completely crazy. Starting with [[Escort Duty | a mission to stop human traffickers with Kevin Sydney]], her social life tanked a bit, but she couldn't escape [[Monster Mash | the 2021 Mansion Halloween Incident]]. Throw in a [[Fear in the Dark | a city-wide threat]], and it was basically a normal year.<br />
<br />
The 2020s brought more stress. 2020 saw her [[Operation: Crazy X-Girlfriend | X-Force mentor "die" (thankfully he got better)]], and [[Operation: Siege Perilous | in an alternate dimension]], which led to the revelation of the [[Frankenberry Cat|previous universe]]. 2021 just barely topped that with a [[Operation: Dewey Deceptional System | classic heist]] and [[Potomac Calls to Chesapeake | giant crabs]]. <br />
<br />
Not long after this, Clea took the chance to study with the [[Ancient One]] and, more importantly, [[Stephen Strange]]. She made the decision to remain there, for the time being, in [[February 2023]].<br />
<br />
== '''Physical Characteristics''' ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Height''': 5'3"<br />
<br />
'''Weight''': 100lbs<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Blue<br />
<br />
'''Hair''': Red<br />
<br />
'''Other Features''': She has both ears pierced. Clea has some scars on her forearm due to the events of Dark Dimension when her stitches reopened.<br />
<br />
== '''Powers''' ==<br />
<br />
Clea inherited the ability to generate her own magical energy. This allows her to draw on it to fuel her own magical abilities and spells. This ability is a result of her being half [[Faltine]]. She cannot shield herself from others who wish to draw upon and harvest her own magical energy. Clea can copy a spell after watching someone perform it for the first time.<br />
<br />
When she began at the school Clea knew how to summon objects to her, but they weren't always what she wanted. Clea had to pronounce the summoning spell correctly and visualize it clearly. She could create mystic bolts, but they were pretty weak to begin with. The most the bolts could do was leave a person feeling as if they are being zapped by a joke buzzer. She is more talented at illusions, but even they only stayed up for a couple of minutes before they start to melt together. She couldn't maintain her spellcraft for very long when performing without a circle — upwards to ten minutes. Her flight was even shorter, lasting only a couple minutes at the most before she just wanted to call it quits and eat everything in sight. <br />
<br />
In the intervening years, Clea has become more powerful, reflected in an increase in the time and strength of her spells. Flight is still very difficult and is something she rarely uses, preferring instead to focus on invisibility and portal magic. Following the [[Fear in the Dark|attack on the XF offices]], she requested training in more offensive magic, which Amanda agreed to.<br />
<br />
Since she uses herself as a power source, she gets tired easily. The longer she casts the more she is likely to fail at anything spell and need more time to recharge. As long as she is on Earth, she will never reach her full potential.<br />
<br />
== '''Trivia''' ==<br />
<br />
* Clea is 1/3rd owner of [[Cata]] (With Bas and Stephen)<br />
* Clea is terrified of heights<br />
* Clea is terrified of spiders<br />
* Likes anime and manga<br />
* Goes to cons in full cosplay in outfits of her own design<br />

<br />
'''Atavistic''' mutations are primarily physical mutations, comprising of the individual possessing such "animalistic" traits as wings, pronounced canine teeth, vertical "catlike" irises, claws, increased body hair, or a tail. <br />
<br />
==What is an atavistic mutation?==<br />
<br />
The term 'atavistic' refers to 'throwback' mutations, where the individuals display traits associated with animals. For some shapeshifters, it refers to such traits remaining even in their 'human' state, frequently impacting on their dietary needs and senses. Beneficial versions of this mutation are rarely seen alone; they are usually paired with [[Feral| feral]] or [[Metamorph| metamorphic]] mutations, or [[Enhanced Physical Traits| enhanced physical]] or [[Enhanced Senses| sensory]] traits.<br />
<br />
Atavistic mutations often happen without the presence of the [[X-gene|x-gene]], including otherwise genetically-normal human babies being born with caudal appendages (tails), extra body hair or an incomplete digestive system.<br />
<br />
The mutation is predominantly physical - atavistic mutants rarely show the "pack mentality" or other psychological or mental traits seen in ferals. In very rare circumstances, such as [[Catseye - Phase 1|Catseye]] who was raised from infancy by cats, feral behaviour can be seen as a result of environment, rather than an actual mutation.<br />
<br />
==The differences between atavistic mutations, ferals and metamorphs==<br />
<br />
Ferals are identified by certain traits: [[Enhanced Senses| enhanced senses]], a [[Healing factor| healing factor]] and altered psychology which exhibits in a "pack" mentality. There are those who exhibit some atavistic traits, such as [[Kyle Gibney| Kyle's]] pointed ears and claws, but it is not the predominant aspect of their mutation. There are those who are atavistic without displaying feral traits - for example, [[Henry McCoy - Phase 1|Henry McCoy]] displays atavistic physical traits, but has neither the enhanced senses or healing factor, nor the psychological aspects associated with a feral.<br />
<br />
It is also possible for some metamorphs to not possess atavistic traits in their 'human' form, such as [[Rahne Sinclair - Phase 1 | Rahne Sinclair]] or [[Nicholas Gleason]].<br />

A '''healing factor''' is defined as the presence of a series of enzymes and hormones in a mutant's physiology that increase the speed of cellular regeneration. <br />
<br />
==Effects of a healing factor==<br />
<br />
Mutants with healing factors are often [[Metamorph | metamorphs]] or [[Feral | ferals]], although the ability is not restricted to any particular type of mutation. Regardless of source, a healing factor can have various levels of intensity, from minor (quick blood clotting) to extreme (regrowing limbs and organs).<br />
<br />
It is theorized that in individuals with a properly functioning healing factor, each cell 'remembers' a default state that the body will attempt to return to. This prevents cells from over-regenerating and becoming potentially cancerous tumors. In addition to cellular regeneration, the presence of a healing factor has also aided in prevention of heavy metal poisoning (from [[Logan]]'s [[adamantium]] skeleton), and possible age-suppression. Many mutants with a healing factor look younger than their actual age, though this is not always the case.<br />

== '''Biography''' ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Childhood''' ===<br />
<br />
Ben was born in 2005 to archeologist couple James and Alexandra Hammil. He was their only child, and while they were happy to have a child together, their careers remained the major focus in their lives. And their work took them a number of places, the Hammil’s bounced around the continental United States, offering their expertise and trying to expand upon the research they’d specialized in and loved. Finally, in 2008, the small family settled down in Chicago, following James and Alexandra accepting positions at the Field Museum of Natural History that would allow them to expand on their research and assist on field expeditions of the situation called for it. Ben, of course, understood none of this, but was happy to grow up in one place, when he could finally understand the work his parents did.<br />
<br />
Because of the nature of their jobs and the long hours they could easily fall into without a second thought, by the time Ben was eight his grandmother Jackie had come to live with the family. Where his parents loved him but were almost entirely focused on work, his grandmother was a kind and nurturing type of love that was entirely foreign to him. And for a while everything was good for the small family. His grandma would often take him with her after school to her volunteering shifts at a nearby shelter that supported mutants not far from the house, where he would do homework and she spent most of her days helping. Then the world outside of their little bubble got a whole lot worse when Ben was ten. M-Day changed the world, killing a few family friends and co-workers of the Hammil’s, as well as a few people at Ben’s school. Where previously he hadn’t seen much response to his grandmother volunteering at the shelter that supported mutants, now his parents sat the family down to bring forth the ultimatum that either Jackie cease her volunteering or she would be asked to leave. This was the first moment of real strain in the Hammil household to Ben’s memory, and it was quietly brushed under the rug, not to be spoken of, when Jackie agreed.<br />
Ben’s childhood slowly trudged on, with the strain of the household continuing even as his parents’ jobs took more and more of their focus out of the home. Some days they would text that they were busy and wish him a good day/night, but most days consisted of radio silence from them. His grandmother tried to cheer him up, but he’d become a mopey teenager who didn’t appreciate the attention. <br />
<br />
In late 2020, his parents announced that they would be joining a team in the field, but they would be keeping in contact as best they could. For once, his parents did seem to have Ben as a priority, and, in their absence, Jackie had begun to volunteer, and he was out of the house with his friends. This lasted till the summer of 2021, when communication ceased suddenly. <br />
<br />
Ben acted like nothing had changed, as far as he was concerned it hadn’t. Until April 2022, when hanging out at a playground with his friends, he experienced a burning sensation and erupted into flames. His new fire powers lit the plastic slide he was sitting on ablaze and the police were called. No one was injured but, with his parents missing, his grandma was denied parental rights due to his extremely volatile power having deemed him as a danger to his surrounding and he was taken into custody.<br />
<br />
=== '''Living At The X-Mansion''' ===<br />
<br />
When a lapse in the power dampening system allowed him to flee the precinct, Ben found himself on the streets. It was then that he was found be a group of mutants called the [[Morlocks|Chicago Morlocks]], after H. G. Wells' fictional species. Immediately the boy was out of his depth, however he stayed with them until February of 2023, when increased security measures of their looting grounds began to [[Chicago is Burning|push them out]]. With this in mind, the group decided to go deep into the sewers and leave the human world behind after granting each member one last wish. When a murder cost Match his wish to see his grandma one last time, he took matters into his own hands. Luckily, members of the [[Mutant Underground]] and [[X-Factor]] were able to spirit the teen away when his panic burned down the family home. <br />
<br />
Some teens jumped into embracing their mutations, their gifts; Match was not one of those teenagers. When he arrived at the mansion, aside from check-ups from some of the 'once student, now real adults', he made himself scarce, opting instead to avoid common areas within the building and instead spend his free time in his room or in [[District X]]. His control seemed to stagnate, with Match unable to control his heat output as his wariness and anxiety of his new surroundings remained. But at least he wasn't starting fires. The arrival of [[Rictor]] and [[Shatterstar]] seemed to draw the teen out of his shell some, bringing him to comment a few times on their journals before fading back into anonymity of simply not drawing attention to himself. However, with the arrival of [[Catseye |Sharon]], Match once again ignited when he woke up to the feral mutant in his room, though the fire was over in an instant, much to both of their surprise. This incident gave him a common ground to bond over with the newly health cleared [[Jessica Jones]].<br />
<br />
When [[Arthur Centino]] opted to bring the members of [[Generation X]] to District X, Match joined and was shown a dumpster filled with cans that he could clean and sell but Sharon. However, as Jess was chaperoning the pair, this dumpster diving was not appreciated. The dumpster was upended by the woman to remove them from the trash. This did not have the desired effect as the group ended up with garbage juice on them and were brought back to the Community Centre to clean up. His apology to the older woman came with a job offer, and soon after Match began working for Alias Investigations. When Sharon found herself able to shift again, she rested in Match's room, to his horror. Following this, she decided to move in with him and they became suitemates. <br />
<br />
An attempt to learn boxing from the instructor at the mansion showed the boy had little fighting ability. The shenanigans continued when Arthur and Jess took the kids of Generation X to Salem Center's fall festival. When other teens chose to heckle him (and Sharon), they decided to respond in kind and scared them off with a slight show of their powers. He passed out candy in the Alias office, much to Jess's annoyance. When a sudden storm hit New York, he helped a man named Artie place sandbags and requested an ID so he could turn in the cans he'd been collecting. The week before Christmas, the entire mansion was stirring when a mysterious intruder [[Crash Landers | set off the alarms]], threw Sharon and Liam outside, and seemingly mimicked his pyrokinesis. No one was happy.<br />
<br />
== '''Physical Characteristics''' ==<br />
Match is a tall skinny kid, bordering on gaunt, that seems to be mostly limbs and a mop of messy hair. He very much looks like he’s been living on the streets for a hot second, and could use a nice warm meal, a shower, and a haircut. His posture is slouched and pulled into himself, from trying to not draw attention. The most exceptional thing about him is the glowing spot on his chest and back that he wears a number of layers to cover and that is expanding. When using his powers for an extended period of time, his eyes will begin to glow yellow-white.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Height''': 5’11” (and potentially still growing)<br />
<br />
'''General Build''': Gangly, mostly long limbs, elbows and knees with not much meat on his bones. <br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Brown<br />
<br />
'''Hair''': Black<br />
<br />
'''Other Features''': Slowly spreading Lichtenberg figure on chest and back, above heart, where his skin glows brightest. At the time of his coming to the mansion, this has spread to his neck.<br />
<br />
== '''Powers''' ==<br />
<br />
Match possesses pyrokinesis, which scientifically means he can excite molecules around him to turn to flame and be malleable to him. This extends to heat, making him warmer than the average person, with the potential of heating up to melting points through heat alone. He is, in essence, a living flame, with more of his body transforming into the glowing skin that’s spreading across his chest, the more he uses his powers without fuel. It’s possible that a steady income of food might slow the transformation, as it would give him calories to, quite literally, burn. Because he generates his own fire, he’s immune to flame and heat. His powers have the capability to absorb heat and extinguish flame, using them as a stored source for later usage, however at the time of his coming to the mansion, he has no practice in this and instead relies on using the fire he produces.<br />
<br />
Since the activation of his X-gene, Match developed ageusia and anosmia, meaning he cannot taste or smell. Food is simply fuel to him.<br />
<br />
At the time of coming to the mansion, Match draws fuel for his flame from his own body, and can only do so in short bursts because of his malnourishment. This extends to creating flames equivalent to a small campfire and heating his hands up to melt the average door knob/lock. Afterwards, he requires calories to replace what has been lost, though in cases of power use beyond his limits his body would reject food as it goes into starving and cannot process them. Additionally, due to his very loose control, upon arrival Match unconsciously could not control his heat output, meaning that anyone within ten feet of him noticed a temperature spike that sets them into uncomfortably warm territory. <br />
<br />
His control has strengthened since coming to the mansion, though his ability to ignite is fueled by negative emotions.<br />

<br />
Match is Isaura's second character, who she lovingly refers to as her "dumpster fire baby." Due to the introduction of [[Ben Russell]], this Ben is generally referred to by his alias ''Match''. Because Isa is lazy with editing, she opted to have Match's living fire appearance instead be more akin to the glowing embers of a dying campfire that is spreading outwards from his heart so she wouldn't have to crack open the photoshop too much. <br />

<br />
Match is Isaura's second character, who she lovingly refers to as her "dumpster fire baby." Due to the introduction of [[Ben Russell]], this Ben is generally referred to by his alias ''Match''. Because Isa is lazy with editing, she opted to have Match's living fire appearance instead be more akin to the glowing embers of a dying campfire that is spreading outwards from his heart so she wouldn't have to crack open the photoshop too much. <br />

== '''Biography''' ==<br />
<br />
=== '''Childhood''' ===<br />
<br />
Born to Randy and Mandy Davis in Selkirk, Beatrice lived a largely uneventful childhood. Her home life was rough, to put it bluntly. Her mother didn't return home from work one day when Bea was twelve, and was never mentioned in the home again. Her home life became more stressful as she started working at fourteen on top of being a student. Headaches became daily occurrences which no mixture of over the counter pain medication did anything to reduce. Her dreams became confusing and muddled, as if they weren’t her own. The stress of her life wasn’t helped by her father. At fifteen, her father was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer, the treatment options were limited. It was at her lowest, that her powers fully manifested, suddenly allowing her into his mind and the unfathomable despair he lived with. It was too much for her young mind and instinctively she lashed out with this new power. Already sick, her father fell into a coma. And Beatrice was alone. Though not for long as her manifestation did not go without questions. She was brought to Winnipeg to be tested and was quickly enrolled in Gamma Flight to teach her control. <br />
<br />
She was able to do some advanced training with Beta Flight, but when offered a position declined. Following her graduation of Gamma Flight, she took a job with Department H to assist with their continuing psion research. Some time laterl, Beatrice resigned, opting to return to Selkirk. She met a man named Creed. <br />
<br />
=== '''Arrival At The X-Mansion''' ===<br />
<br />
Beatrice arrived at the mansion following the [[A Haven to Call Home | riot in District X]] caused by power flares and bigots in the area. She was discovered by [[Arthur Centino]] outside of the X-Factor Investigations office, and subsequently brought to the mansion by him to get checked over concerning her injuries. [[David Haller]] and [[Garrison Kane]] were brought in to speak with her after it was brought to the X-Men's attention that she had mentioned the Brotherhood and Sabretooth to Arthur, and after she agreed to be read by Haller she was allowed to stay.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Height''': 5’ (~5’5” in heels)<br />
<br />
'''General Build''': Svelte is the easiest way to describe Beatrice, while she’s physically fit from years of working to maintain her agility, she never put on much muscle tone and remained slender.<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Blue-green<br />
<br />
'''Hair''': Blonde<br />
<br />
'''Other Features''': Magenta glow from eyes when telepathy is being used. Healing injuries.<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''Powers''' ==<br />
<br />
Beatrice is, in her own words, a low-level telepath, capable of entering the minds of others as well as allowing people into her own mind. With minds that she is well-versed in she can manifest a projection of memories, though the strain is too much and these projections can only last up to an hour with nosebleeds and migraines being more common the longer these projections are maintained. These projections are visible to her, the target if she focuses on forcing their brains to accept the projection, and some other telepaths. <br />

<br />
==Biography==<br />
<br />
===Childhood and Manifestation===<br />
<br />
====Childhood====<br />
<br />
Haller had a typical childhood until the age of 7, when his parents were killed in a suicide-bombing of their hotel when on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Haller was then relegated to the care of his maternal grandparents for some months until Andrew Shomron (brother to Daniel Shomron, an associate of Gabrielle Haller's, and a friend of the family) assumed guardianship. Later it was discovered that the time spent with his grandparents established the foundations of Haller's later dissociative disorder as their harsh treatment of Haller's introversion and "excessive" grief over his parents' death lead to the defensive creation of the happier, more socially acceptable persona that later became known as Davey.<br />
<br />
====Manifestation====<br />
<br />
At the age of 10 Haller was caught in the middle of a convenience-store holdup one night as he and Andrew were returning from a visit to a friend's house. In the restroom when the three gunmen arrived, Haller startled them by opening the door and caused one of the gunmen to open fire. Haller, shielded by his guardian's body, suffered only a bullet to the arm. Andrew, however, was killed instantly. Pain, terror and rage catalyzed his psionic powers, and the resulting manifestation destroyed the convenience store and killed the three gunmen, two clerks and one other customer. Overwhelmed by the death of his guardian and the horror of physically and psychically annihilating six people, Haller's mind shattered. By the time rescuers pulled him from the rubble the boy was catatonic. His grandparents placed him in a long-term care facility.<br />
<br />
====Muir Island and Xavier's====<br />
<br />
At the age of 13 Haller's powers again began to manifest in reality in the form of telekinetic and pyrokinetic fits. Seeing this as the final straw, his grandparents disowned him. His aunt Gabrielle, now assured the boy was a mutant, contacted [[Charles Xavier]] for help. Charles succeeded in extricating Haller from the institution the boy was sent to the [[Muir Island Research Facility - Phase 1|Muir Island Research Facility]] for a brief time. Several weeks of psychic coaxing saw Haller out of his coma, but it was discovered that the trauma of his manifestation had resulted in Dissociative Identity Disorder (also called DID, once known as Multiple Personality Disorder). During the initial months of recuperation Haller bonded with [[Moira MacTaggart - Phase 1|Moira MacTaggart]], who had only a year before lost her son [[MacTaggart Family| Kevin]].<br />
<br />
Once Haller stabilized he was transferred to Xavier's in order to continue treatment with Charles. With the assistance of a personal caretaker Haller remained at the school until he was 16, at which point he was deemed well enough to continue treatment for his DID with more specialized therapists. However, because of the complications associated with his powers and mental illness it was deemed best for Haller to spend this time in the care of Muir Island. <br />
<br />
Therapy continued apace for a number of years. Then, for reasons originally cited only as "a psychological reconfiguration," at the age of 19 Haller's DID began to spiral out of control. A year later, after several increasingly violent incidents with his telekinesis which resulted in third-degree burns, numerous fractures and blunt-force trauma, Haller was once again forced to turn to Charles for help. Unknown to both men, the psychic-inhibitors placed around Haller's TK had the unintended side-effect of artificially restraining the personalities that held them. Although Davey continued to emerge, manifestations of Jack and Cyndi grew less and less pronounced. His brief, failed attempt at out-patient treatment at the age of 18 notwithstanding, he was not formally released until he was 20.<br />
<br />
====Post-Muir====<br />
<br />
After his convalescence and release from Muir, Haller spent three years drifting around the United Kingdom working as a volunteer in various asylums. Due to his own experiences and the training received under Charles Xavier, Haller proved exceptionally adept at working with the mentally ill. However, despite his natural talent the work took its toll. <br />
<br />
===[[:Category: Phase 1|Phase 1]]===<br />
<br />
In the winter of 2005, physically and emotionally burned out, Haller contacted Charles, who arranged for him to assume position as the latest in the long line of student counselors at Xavier's, supporting and eventually replacing the overworked [[Wanda Maximoff - Phase 1 | Wanda Maximoff]]. Haller arrived at the school in early January of 2006. In addition to his staff duties, Haller began to pursue psychology courses at The New School.<br />
<br />
As a result of a relapse brought upon by his actions in [[The Rictor Effect]] in July of 2006 Haller temporarily removed himself from position as school counselor. The hiatus lasted until Charles gently nudged Haller's shattered self-confidence back into some approximation of whole by requesting his assistance with the new arrival [[Yvette Petrovic]].<br />
<br />
====The X-Men====<br />
<br />
Though initially leery about joining the team due to his history of mental instability, Haller's assistance was required to combat [[Chthon]] in [[Head Like A Hole]]. It marked Haller's first willfully offensive use of telepathy and the beginning of his involvement with the team. After the events of [[House of Wind]], he decided to stop fighting fate and officially volunteered. After some time in the field learning the technicalities of the psionic switchboard from Nathan during [[Masque (plot)]], he tried a slightly more active role in [[X-Men Mission: Haunted House]], and in his determination to prove his worth actually managed to put himself into a coma. He was less adventurous after that.<br />
<br />
Haller's telekinesis remained locked until [[The Rictor Effect]], during which his assistance was required to hold back the tsunami in San Diego. By ripping off the inhibitors Haller succeeded in helping to avert the immediate threat, but released the latent personalities of Jack and Cyndi. In their attempt to escape the possibility of re-imprisonment the two alters assaulted [[Nathan Dayspring|Cable]], [[Jean Grey - Phase 1 | Phoenix]], [[Lorna Dane - Phase 1|Polaris]] and [[Rogue]] before they could be pacified by [[Juggernaut]]. It was the first time Haller had ever worn team leathers.<br />
<br />
After a period of voluntary inactivity for fear his obvious instability threatened the team, Haller reenlisted after he was forced to test his limits under pressure when [[Pete Wisdom]] utilized borderline blackmail to scrape up another telepath for [[Operation: Xorn]]. However, he remains more at home with repairing minds than going on missions.<br />
<br />
====Five Against One====<br />
<br />
''Main article [[Five Against One]].''<br />
<br />
Early in 2007 Haller discovered his mentor, Charles Xavier, was in fact his biological father by [[Gabrielle Haller]], the woman Haller had until that time believed to be his aunt. Fearing this knowledge would destroy Haller's tenuous grip on sanity, Charles and Gabrielle had withheld it for years. This fear proved to be 100% correct. The alter Jack responded with escalating violence against both Jim (levied against Haller's physical body) and the professor. A dinner meeting with his mother proved the last straw, and Haller's fractured psyche finally split entirely, revealing the source of the conflict.<br />
<br />
David's original manifestation hadn't merely killed six bystanders, but lead to the absorption of the psyche of one of his assailants -- a 17 year old named Jemail Karami, the man who had shot and killed David's guardian only moments before. During the violent schisming of David's psionic abilities, Jemail found himself in possession of the aspect the traumatized boy couldn't bear to have: telepathy. Locked inside David's mind for years and completely isolated from the world, Jemail slowly began to utilize his power by effecting repairs on David's mind until Charles located the boy and drew him out. It was Jemail who received the training Haller would later put to use in his vocation of telepathic therapist. <br />
<br />
All was relatively calm until David began recovery in earnest around the age of 18, when David's brain became unable to sustain the presence of two strong, coherent personalities. Erring on the side of survival, David's mind chose the strongest of the psyches: Jemail. David's own mind slowly began to disintegrate. In order to preserve both personalities, Charles was eventually convinced to knit the two psyches together to form the composite entity who came to call himself Jim -- a solution which nearly killed him, as the event became the catalyst for Jack's original rebellion. <br />
<br />
The poison drawn out into the open, David finally gained the opportunity to confront Jemail, his victim, partner and parasite. After a great deal of drama, both men finally resolved their issues and once more reintegrated into Jim.<br />
<br />
====Afterwards====<br />
<br />
Since [[Five Against One]], cooperation amongst the alters has greatly increased, particularly between rivals Jim and Jack. [[Alexander's Wall]] showed Haller's alters now able to formulate strategy and coordinate attacks, albeit with the occasional snarky commentary. Though he is most commonly used for communications due to the unpredictability of his telekinesis, he is occasionally useful for spontaneous defensive maneuvers and does train with it in the Danger Room. <br />
<br />
Though still unable to refer to Charles as anything but "the professor," Jim remained with him in the mansion rather than evacuating with the students for the events of [[Thirteen Days]], marking the first time he has ever put personal desire over professional. He has also succeeded in calling Gabrielle "Ima" -- Hebrew for mother. In the meantime, he has also resumed his interrupted college courses in January of 2008.<br />
<br />
Haller suffered from the departures of long-time lover Betsy Braddock and close friend Lorna Dane, becoming more isolated as a result. Consequently, when Xavier was contacted by [[X-Factor - Phase 1|X-Factor]] regarding a [[Aftershocks| series of murdered mutants]] he took the opportunity to include his son in perhaps the strangest equivalent of a playdate to date. Though he originally intended only to assist in locating the killer, the suspect's resolute silence eventually forced him to break his policy against non-consensual use of telepathy. While acknowledging the necessity, the incident left him discomfited. <br />
<br />
====Genosha====<br />
<br />
Haller accompanied the X-Men to rescue the residents abducted during a protest outside the Genoshan embassy only to find himself captured. While detained in the Citadel he was horrified to discover Betsy Braddock had been brainwashed and was working as a magistrate. The experience, as well as the news of the alleged death of Rachel Kinross-Dayspring took its toll on his psyche, leaving him in a largely blank and dissociated state until they were freed. Once the ordeal was past he reunited with Betsy, who was shaken after her experience and had newly been freed of Kwannon's presence.<br />
<br />
====After====<br />
<br />
Once they had returned from Genosha Scott approached Haller about his parentage, which he had "learned" as a result of the Genoshan's attempts to turn their captives against one another. To his horror, Haller realized his subconscious insecurity had caused him to weaken the bonds around Scott's memory of his relationship with Charles, causing temporary tension between the two. Some time later Betsy appeared at the mansion unannounced, claiming concern for his well-being but in fact dealing with alarming changes to her powers. After countless evasions and denials, Betsy's new teleportation powers manifested in a way that left no room for doubt. After the two struggled to deal with the implications and the lack of honesty a confrontation ensued: Betsy, fearing the changes had something to do with Essex and Kwannon, tore into Haller and disappeared in the aftermath, leaving him heartbroken.<br />
<br />
Perhaps as a means of distraction, Haller became more involved in the tutoring of the influx of students with psionic powers, like Hope, Topaz and Maddie. He continued with reconstructive activities such as rebuilding Garrison's mind after its quasi-mystical destruction, preliminary work with Adrienne's psychometric overflow, and repairing some of the damage to Longshot's memories, but largely withdrew from team involvement.<br />
<br />
====The Dark Phoenix====<br />
<br />
Haller was hit hard by the news [[Dark Phoenix Saga|Moira and Nathan had been killed in the destruction of Muir Island]], but did not allow himself to process it during the frantic search for the missing Jean Grey. His sanity took another blow when the [[Imperial Guard]] intervened in their rescue mission and murdered Namor, with the Guardsman Oracle piping the young man's death directly into his mind. He held out until the murder of Lorna and near-death of Xavier pushed him over the edge. With the help of Emma and Rachel, he overcame his grief and tapped enough power to delay the Dark Phoenix as she attempted to invade [[Cerebro]]. Their efforts, however, were doomed to failure; like Rachel, he disappeared when the Dark Phoenix overloaded an attempt to suppress her power.<br />
<br />
===[[:Category: Phase 2|Phase 2]]===<br />
<br />
In [[April 2015]], the mansion was surprised by the sudden return of [[Rachel Kinross-Dayspring]] and Haller from the [[Psionics|astral plane]], where Rachel had pulled them both amid the destruction of the [[Dark Phoenix]]. Neither was unchanged by the experience, with Rachel appearing to have aged several years and having issues with her telepathy, and Haller not even close to his usual level of 'normal' and showing no signs of any of his previous personalities, including "Jim". Despite being cleared by [[Charles Xavier]], [[Scott Summers]] and the medical staff, he was reluctant to rejoin mansion life and his old role as counsellor. Regardless of his hesitation, he found himself assisting several of the residents, including newcomers [[Illyana Rasputin]] and [[Maya Lincoln-Lopez]] and old hand [[Artie Maddicks]] as well as the 'new' [[Jean Grey]].<br />
<br />
It became clear that Haller was far from recovered from the traumas of the old universe when he came close to killing a human bigot during a [[X-Men Mission: Riding the Nightmare|attempted rescue of a young mutant girl]]. He and Scott discussed the issue and Haller apologised to Jean, who had stopped him, but the latter certainly didn't go well. Two other incidents in early 2016, one where [[Something Slender This Way Comes|the students were abducted to the Slenderman plane]] and another [[Great Attractors|with the psis all being pulled into the astral plane]] and trapped by the lingering damage from [[M-Day]] and a fight with Rachel in the aftermath, only increased Haller's frustration, when he felt that he hadn't been able to assist as much as he needed to. He came to the conclusion he no longer belonged at the mansion, and while Charles was able to convince him to stay rather than run away, he became even more isolated.<br />
<br />
The [[Psi War|return of the Shadow King]] in [[September 2017]] pulled Haller once more into the chaos of the mansion, this time assisting in fighting off the astral parasite and recreating the [[The Shadow King (plot)|ritual]] which had driven him out of the astral plane originally. Shortly afterwards he returned to his second home, Muir Island, to concentrate on achieving his M.S. and provide support for patients. Years later, a conversation with Scott revealed that his departure had actually been due to his inability to cope with the imminent arrival of the new world's [[Betsy Braddock]].<br />
<br />
===Return to the Mansion===<br />
<br />
In 2023 Haller returned to the mansion ostensibly to support [[Shatterstar]], a new resident with a similar dissociative disorder, but spurred largely by the death of a young Muir Island patient named Sajjad whom both Haller and Sooraya had come to know. Haller spent over two days keeping the boy's pain and fear at bay long enough to give him an easy passing, but the experience left him deeply traumatized and in an emotionally fragile state. Nonetheless, he was able to effect psychic repairs on a newly returned [[Jessica Jones]] and became an object of fascination for [[Warren Worthington]]. <br />
<br />
====A Haven to Call Home====<br />
<br />
After [[Quentin Quire]] shared his encounter with the healer and commune-leader [[Radha Dastoor]], Haller decided to establish contact with her in the hopes that they might be able to build bridges with Radha and Muir Island. During the course of their conversation Haller discovered Radha had proactively "cured" his DID, temporarily folding all his personalities and their associated powers into one. Violated and horrified by the implications, Haller fled. Despite assurances by both [[Emma Frost]] and [[Charles Xavier]] that the situation was both temporary and benign, Haller experienced great distress from his ungated memories and the intrusive thoughts that came with his integrated consciousness. In distress, he allowed himself to be read by [[Arthur Centino]] only to be told he would face a choice: act immediately and allow others to suffer, or wait and be the only one to pay the price. Assuming this referred to deploying with the X-Men, Haller demurred from attending an FOH rally at the edge of District X and avoided an apparent chemical weapons attack as a result. Haller was therefore available when Quentin approached him with his suspicions that Radha herself had been the originator of the attack.<br />
<br />
Using the power that came with his integration, Haller devised a strategy with [[Hope Abbott]] to transmute the occupants of Radha's compound into psionic energy and move them through the astral plane to safety while Quentin dealt with Radha. While the attempt was successful, the stress on Haller's mind rendered him catatonic and telepathically unreachable. However, the suggestion that Haller be taken to Muir Island for further treatment provoked a massive telekinetic storm. While the exact reason was unclear, Charles realized Haller felt some compelling need to remain at the mansion.<br />

He responds to threats of physical danger or when Haller feels anger he cannot express as himself. He is co-conscious with Jim, but shares an antagonistic relationship with him.

He is most often triggered by Haller's desire to escape from adult responsibilities or difficult emotions. Jim cannot remember or control what happens when Davey is out.<br />

|width="600pt"| [[Image:jemwiki.jpg|100px|left]]Not a fragment of David, but a person in his own right -- once. An Iranian national born November 21st, 1975, Jemail's Baha'i family immigrated to the New York to escape persecution from the Shi'ite majority -- only to see Jemail's father killed as a result of the 1979 Iranian hostage situation. This early loss cultivated in Jemail a vicious hatred of white America. This hatred escalated from petty theft, vandalism, beatings, and finally culminated in an attempt at armed robbery when he was 17. Riven with guilt once he came to understand the true scope of what he had done, he survived in David's mind for years after his physical death until circumstances forced him to merge with his "host" to become Jim. He was seen as his own entity during Haller's hallucination in [[When It All Goes Wrong Again]], and appeared again in [[Five Against One]] before their permanent melding.<br />
<br />
In life Jemail was 5'7", spoke Khaliji (Arabic) and some Farsi, and is solely responsible for Jim's smoking habit. His mother, still alive and ignorant of her son's fate, is Safa Karami. He still sometimes refers to her as "Ummee".<br />

<br />
Due to Haller's fierce devotion to privacy and the ridiculously byzantine nature of his psyche, please enjoy this brief primer on IC knowledge. (Note: In public, particularly around students, Haller requests even those who know his "nickname" to call him David.)<br />

===Accessible/Inaccessible Information===<br />
Aside from getting the aforementioned information directly from the source (or a secondary party being drunk, mouthy or both), the odds of discovering the above are influenced by the following:<br />
<br />
'''Haller's Mental Illness''' - Clearly stated in both team and medical records, including names and capabilities of alters. Also somewhat known in psychiatric circles, as Haller does frequent conferences and is open that he has been a subject in studies on powers and psychology.<br />
<br />
'''The "Jim" Situation''' - Nowhere in the team/security database, so not accessible via security hack or mission notes. Likely referenced only in Xavier's personal notes and psychological assessments. <br />
<br />
'''Haller's Paternity''' - Theoretically accessible to anyone who's looking in the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and/or the New York State Putative Father Registry. Xavier and Gabrielle Haller both signed a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity form. Also buried in Haller's confidential medical file.<br />
<br />
==Physical Characteristics==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Height''': 6'4"<br />
<br />
'''General Build''': Thin, a hairsbreadth away from unhealthily underweight.<br />
<br />
'''Eyes''': Blue right eye, brown left eye (Jim); grey (Jack); green (Cyndi); blue (Davey, David)<br />
<br />
'''Hair''': Black, feared sentient<br />
<br />
'''Other Features''': While normally heterochromatic, depending on which personality is in control Haller's eyecolor changes due to a rapid increase or decay of the melanin in his eyes, which is a product of psychosomatic interaction between his state of mind and his own body. As a consequence of uncontrolled fits of pyrokinesis Haller has very visible scars running up the back of his right hand and arm, as well as several less obvious ones across his body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Powers==<br />
<br />
Haller is theoretically a [[Psionics | broad-spectrum psi]], but his traumatic manifestation schismed his powers into the two most basic expressions: psychically affective (telepathy) and physically affective (telekinesis, subdivided into macro- and micro- scale). Because of David's inability to cope with the psychological ramifications these powers were allotted to other personalities; the core personality did not come into possession of any powers until eight years after his initial manifestation. Though potentially as powerful as his father, if not more, Haller's abilities are greatly hampered by his mental illness. His full power has been seen only once, in the brief period of time between removing the blocks on his telekinesis and psychological dissolution during [[The Rictor Effect]].<br />
<br />
'''Telepathy:''' Trained by Charles and experienced in the rebuilding of his own mind, Haller's area of speciality is psychic reconstruction. A high ability to multi-task and thus perform functions like the psionic switchboard during missions is an unforeseen benefit of his disorder. He is adept at mimicking and customizing techniques demonstrated to him, and extremely talented at adaptation as necessity requires. Though powerful, psychological inhibitions restrict his range to 1-2 miles at best and he is psychically numb to any but the extremely familiar. Despite this introversion the intuitive nature of his approach to telepathy allows him the atypical ability to communicate with those speaking in languages other than his own -- useful for face-to-face communication, but no help when it comes to speaking, reading or learning the language itself. Only Jim has use of Haller's telepathy.<br />
<br />
'''Macro-TK:''' Telekinesis affecting objects visible to the eye, controlled by Jack. By far the least developed aspect of Haller's powers, a combination of mental inhibitions and genuine inexperience restrict him from complex manipulation, handling simultaneous multiple targets, or, under normal circumstances, affecting objects larger than around the size of a bus. It is notable that the physical limitations are far less severe when in the area of instinctive defense. He is best able to affect objects already in motion; imminent action is often characterized by the disturbance of nearby objects as his less refined telekinesis begins to "leak". The power is usually characterized by poorly-directed hurling or smashing of objects or short, sharp bursts of concussive force. However, Jack displays an unexpected talent for shielding.<br />
<br />
'''Micro-TK:''' Telekinesis on the molecular level, wielded by Cyndi. Most often it manifests as pyrokinesis -- not because it's limited to that, but because that is simply the controlling alter's preference of manifestation. While Cyndi's fine control exceeds Jack's, emotional upset or simple boredom tends to result in unwitting spontaneous combustion. Occasionally this occurs slightly too close to the non-fireproof Haller. In [[Fiddler's Green]] she discovered her micro-TK allowed her to manipulate great masses of water, though she is unused to the sustained effort this requires.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
<UL><br />
<LI>The telepathic personality, Jim, is the only smoker. His brand of preference is Marlboro.</LI><br />
<LI>Though he loathes the professor, Jack sometimes listens to jazz because Charles once suggested it as a way to mellow out.</LI><br />
<LI>After an attempt to telepathically force-integrate with Cyndi, Cyndi retaliated by seizing control, getting a tattoo and burning down a nightclub. To this day Jim still cannot remember these events.</LI><br />
<LI>Haller participated in a public search and rescue operation for a British Alzheimer's patient in the spring of 2004, which attracted the attention of [[Magneto - Phase 1|Magneto]]. He was courted briefly as a possible resource, but declined. Due to the commonality of his power and his various restrictions Magneto deemed him not useful enough to pursue.</LI><br />
<LI>As revealed in [[The Enemy Within]], Haller was at the Muir Island Research Center with Moira during the events of [[X2]].</LI><br />
<LI>The reason why Jim has the "atypical" ability to telepathically understand those speaking languages other than English is due to the fact his player was unaware this was not common practice in X-Project and found out only after multiple instances of use. As retconning was useless, his player decided he was just special. [[Jonothon Starsmore]] is currently the only other telepath to display similar ability.</LI><br />
<LI>Haller [https://xp-logs.dreamwidth.org/1662670.html claimed his codename] in response to Jack's [https://xp-logs.dreamwidth.org/1443141.html#cutid3 final taunt] to him during the sudden relapse brought on by the The Rictor Effect: ''So smile and say it with me now, "Jim": My name is Legion, for we are many.''</LI><br />

'''Meta Trivia'''<br />
<br />
<UL><br />
<LI>With the sole exception of Davey, all personalities (with their associated powers) were originally set by writer Chris Claremont in the Marvel comic ''The New Mutants''.</LI><br />
<LI>In ''The New Mutants'' #27 the personality of Jack declared Legion's identity to Xavier by leveling against him the same quote referenced in The Rictor Effect. This was a little odd since the quote originates from the Book of Mark in the New Testament and canon Legion was also pretty Jewish.<br />
</LI><br />
<li>[[Tapestry]] took an extended hiatus in 2017 and returned to active gameplay in 2023, when the arrival of [[Shatterstar]] gave her a reason to bring Haller back from Muir.<br />
